Firefox with NoScript. Haven't had a single trace of spyware/malware/virus since I started using it with NoScript about 18 months ago.

Firefox... no unnecessary bs without the complications of the anorexic chrome.

 

[Raidur]

Oh yeah why, because I like stability, customizability, and proper security when I'm on the web.

 

[seboj]

Firefox on PC.
Iris on phone.

Firefox on PC, because of all my nice addons, which no other browser really has. Chrome's addons are pretty complicated, and I don't have time to figure them out.

Opera on my phone and PDA and such...because it's free, and it's pretty nice. On the slow side, though...and it kind of annoys me you have to add www's in front of everything. But, it's better than mobile IE.

i mix of firefox 3.5 and chrome 2. chrome if i want to jump on facebook or check email, but firefox for everything else got to have my plug-ins

 

[kevin1212]

Ie8 on the desktop, dont really care which one i use, so default is enough for me... they all do the same job, give or take a bit, a very little bit. Chrome on my piece of shit notebook, the one good thing about chrome is that it uses very little resources.

 

[ervinshiznit]

Firefox for its customizability

 

[icepick314]

i REALLY liked IE8's feature but it's slow compared to Firefox 3.5...

if Firefox 3.5 can bring Aero Peek into Windows 7, then i would be one happy nerd...for now, using Windows 7 RC, only first tab shows up when there are multiple tabs open...

Firefox 3.5

Used to use the alpha for 3.6 along with the alpha of Opera 10. The former didnt work with Greasemonkey, and the latter's need for an adblock.ini was irritating when it came to updating it even if the use of a style sheet made having to do so less frequent.

firefox

 

[matt87_50]

chrome, cause i can drag tabs out into their own window, and then merge them back into the same window!!!!1!11!

 

[marraco]

Firefox is the best balanced. enough of any feature. recover from crashes better than anyone. So well, in fact, that sometimes I use task manager for crashing it on purpose.
No other browser have one add on fon any crazy task I Imagine.


yes, I know, I'm nuts.

 

[PLATTERMAN]

IE8, but through my MSN home page. I rarely use it direct.

OPERA cause its fast and its shortcuts and because it seems so much lighter than other browser.

firefoxe when pages doesnt load well with opera.
ie8 for emails with hotmails.

Lol, no offense, but that's like saying, "I bought this car because it had a leopard colored rear view mirror!" =P

 

[nurgletheunclean]

Why isn't Opera in the list. That's my goto browser but I'll use all the others in a pinch.

 

[IronRyan21]

Chrome, I wish it was more supported, like on netflix and stuffs....

 

[Guest]

Chrome because it is 40% faster than Firefox 3.5. When I click pages I like them to come back fast. I could care less for plugins and eventually Chrome will make that happen just because its backed by Google.

 

[Vettedude]

Firefox 3.5! Add-ons rule! I use AdBlock+, IE Tab, Photobucket Uploader, McAfee Siteadvisor, and FoxTab. I just love add-ons. Oh, I forgot I am using the XP on Vista theme. I like the colored buttons better than the blue.

 

[Mr_Man]

Firefox. Thanks for the heads-up about 3.5!
I use it partially out of brand loyalty (I've been using it since March '05), but keep it up because of its extentions, my familiarity with its tuning, and its continual improvement.

 

[brendano257]

Firefox, simple and easy to use. Not to mention that I can go to all kinds of shady sites looking for cracks and such, never get viruses. But the first time I go there in IE I get swamped by tons of stuff. Safari? I used it when I had an iMac G5, but I don't use it much on my PC. I may have used Safari when I went to PC, but it was still when certain sites had small issues with Safari, like certain decals and such not lining up. Stuck on Firefox, especially after 3.0, still have the download certificate PDF ^_^

 

[dacman61]

I used Chrome 2 as my primary browser, and Firefox as my backup for a few sites that don't play well just yet with Chrome.

 

[tf2addict]

Firefox 3.5 hands down. the customization is unparralleled. i love black, so i skinned it black. i dont like ads, so i got adblocker plus. a solution for everything. the other browsers dont hold a candle to firefox.
